Ye Lei and Liu Hongshen came to an uninhabited alley, Liu Hongshen had been forbearing, and then asked, "What happened to you, can you tell the eldest brother?" ”

Ye Lei couldn't answer for a while, Liu Hongshen patted Ye Lei, very pleased, and said, "It's okay, everything will be fine?" ”

Ye Lei didn't understand Liu Hongshen's words, and said: "Actually, I can't say it clearly, I feel that my strength and wisdom are constantly emerging." ”

Liu Hongshen didn't understand Ye Lei's words, and asked directly: "What did you call me out?" ”

Ye Lei said: "It can't be promoted." I've scouted ahead, there aren't many buildings, there's a lot of open land, and it's probably a trap. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

Liu Hongshen's face changed, fortunately there was no one around, otherwise Ye Lei would have been punished for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army.

Ye Lei said: "I know. The area is between the dock and the naval headquarters, and as soon as you enter that area, the warships on the Huangpu River and the planes on the aircraft carriers will carry out covering bombing, and then the docks will send reinforcements and the Japanese troops from the headquarters to flank you. Again, I'm optimistic. ”

Liu Hongshen's face changed again, this time it became ugly. Just now he was to blame, but this time he was worried about his five hundred soldiers, and then he asked, "Is there anything worse?" ”

Ye Lei exhaled, paused a little and said, "If according to what I just said, the commando team still has a way to retreat, but what I'm afraid of is a three-point encirclement, it will be a dead end." If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would have sent two troops at the docks. all the way to the attack under the cover of aviation; Quickly move all the way to the back of the commando team, waiting for the rest of the work to build the fortifications. When it really fell, the commandos had no way to retreat but fought hard, and in the end the whole army was annihilated. ”

Liu Hongshen entered into contemplation, as if imagining the picture described by Ye Lei, Ye Lei finally said: "The two routes of troops only need 2 squadrons, and the Japanese army at this time has such strength. ”

"So what do you say?"

Because of Ye Lei's words, Liu Hongshen felt afraid, and even lost his opinion as the commander of the commando.

Ye Lei said: "The wounded will be evacuated to the rear now, and then you will lead the assault team to attack the Japanese headquarters." Now our main forces are attacking, and the enemy's attention is all on the west, and we are sixty percent sure of a surprise attack from the east. ”

Liu Hongshen hesitated and said, "In case the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked on our backs." Don't underestimate the maneuverability of the Japanese army. ”

Ye Lei said: "I just said that there is a sixty percent chance of winning, and naturally there is a forty percent failure. Twenty percent of them are for your unfavorable attack, and two for reinforcements. If I had a platoon of troops to hold off reinforcements, I would be 100% sure that I would be able to delay until dark. If you dare to give me a company, I will dare to destroy them! ”

Ye Lei is obviously here to ask for soldiers, but Liu Hongshen is not the master, and the commandos are elite, so they can't ask him to take risks as a second lieutenant. Besides, those soldiers who are not their own, the plan was drawn up by the headquarters of the Left Route Army. But Ye Lei's words made him confused, so he took advantage of the noon truce to report Ye Lei's plan to the division headquarters.

At the headquarters of the 88th Division, the attack in the morning was very smooth, and the headquarters was full of a relaxed atmosphere, but Liu Hongshen's message made the relaxed atmosphere not so relaxed.

"It's this ghost again, last time he blocked the Iron Fist plan and almost beat our German advisors, this time it's him again! When he comes back, I will definitely punish him for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army! ”

After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Zhang Baiting was very angry, because the morning battle gave him hope for the victory of the "Iron Fist Plan." As long as the assault team stood firm and blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese army, it was only a matter of time before the Japanese naval headquarters was taken. Therefore, the "Iron Fist Plan" is a feasible plan.

Division commander Sun Yuanliang also read this telegram, but there was a worried expression on his face. In fact, he had the same idea as Ye Lei, sacrificing so many elite troops, even if he was victorious, would the Japanese army give up Shanghai?

The 2,000 Japanese troops who were going south from Lushun will arrive soon, and there will be aircraft carriers and destroyers, and it will still be a tough battle at that time, and many people will die.

Zhang Baizhu asked, "Master, what do you think?" ”

"How do I know what to do? This is a plan made by the headquarters, can it be changed overnight? ”

The two questions show that Sun Yuanliang is contradictory in his heart. One, he didn't want so many soldiers to die; Second, Ye Lei's plan was not feasible, because he wanted a platoon to block reinforcements, which was a joke; Third, he was not optimistic about the "Iron Fist Plan" in advance, because it was too unobjective and ignored the strength of both the enemy and us.

But Sun Yuanliang didn't really understand what Ye Lei meant. Behind enemy lines, in the case of enemy fire strike ranges, the gains in positional warfare outweigh the losses. A large number of buildings, streets, and alleys in the concession area should be used to fight sports warfare and street fighting, and the commandos should be reduced to zero.

The commando, to put it bluntly, is a death squad, maybe Shangfeng doesn't care about their life and death at all, he only cares about victory. If the Marine Corps Headquarters is taken down and General Hasegawa Kiyoshi is captured alive, it will naturally be a great merit, and it is not an exaggeration to go down in history.

Ye Lei is a soldier, he can't see through this, if he succeeds in taking the other party's headquarters, the political impact is very far-reaching.

Liu Hongshen quickly received a call back from the division headquarters: it was carried out according to the original plan.

Ye Lei was disappointed and prepared to leave, intending to use his own strength to block the reinforcements.

Liu Hongshen asked, "Where are you going?" You are from the 2nd Battalion, and you will act with us. ”

Ye Lei said in frustration: "I'm a platoon commander without soldiers, what's the use?" I'm going to stop the reinforcements. ”

"You're alone?"

"One person is enough. Didn't the commandos have sappers, and after arriving at the designated position, dig more anti-artillery holes. Also, you are the commander, don't rush to the front of the group, the commander should be the last to die. ”

After speaking, Ye Lei turned around and left, going east alone.

As Ye Lei expected, this is indeed a trap set by Kondo Mitsuhiko, and the content of the deployment is different from what Ye Lei said. The right flank to the south was not to cut off the rear of the assault team, but to attack directly with the left flank, and the forces in the direction of the headquarters continued to defend. Sato was afraid that the commando dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he went directly to attack the headquarters.

There are both desirables and disincentives to the two-person scenario. Ye Lei is stable, as long as the fortifications are built in the south, the Japanese army will not be able to defeat a squadron or a regiment, let alone the disabled commando, so the commando team will be completely annihilated; Sato is aggressive, and the assault has a way out, and he can break through directly to the south, and the advantage is that the reinforcements can reinforce the headquarters as soon as possible.

"Sir!"

Ye Lei went east, and after walking for a long time, someone suddenly shouted behind him, and Ye Lei looked back and saw that the person was Chen Dabiao. And beside Zhang Dabiao was Li Hu, and behind the two stood twelve soldiers, fully armed and equipped.

"...... you?"

Ye Lei didn't understand very much, Chen Dabiao said: "The battalion commander asked us to help you." However, the commando team is also very tight, so we can only draw out one squad of troops, and we are all in the second battalion. ”

plus Ye Lei has a total of fifteen people, and can form 2 assault teams. Ye Lei thanked Liu Hongshen from the bottom of his heart for his trust, and with this elite detachment composed of fourteen, he was fully confident to fight a beautiful resistance battle.

Ye Lei walked up to Li Hu and said, "We can finally fight side by side, let me see the power of your double swords." ”

Li Hu still had a cool expression and said: "I listen to the battalion commander, and the battalion commander tells me to listen to you, then I will listen to your command." ”

Ye Lei patted it to show his trust, and then shouted at everyone: "We are going to face an enemy ten or even twenty times our size, are you afraid!?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Soldiers only identify with the strong, and worship heroes even more. They all saw Ye Lei's previous performance, so they were happy and convinced of Ye Lei.

Ye Lei shouted: "Tell me your names!" ”

"Zhang Dabiao!"

"Li Hu."

"Zhou Wei!"

“……”

Each soldier reported his name, Ye Lei wrote them down one by one, and finally shouted loudly: "Okay! I have memorized your names, your faces. Today, I'm going to take you to create a miracle! ”
